Wrongful Death

Don’t settle for less than maximum case value

The death of a family member is always difficult, no matter the cause. The last thing a grieving family wants to think about is taking on the legal system to achieve justice. Liggett Law Group will care about your loss, and we promise that our Lubbock wrongful death lawyers will carefully and compassionately communicate with you about your legal rights.

When a loved one is killed due to the negligence of another individual or company, a wrongful death claim may be made on their behalf. The wrongful death statute allows for close relatives of the deceased to file a claim against the individual or entity that put in motion or caused the death of your loved one. Often a wrongful death claim can also be filed jointly with other claims, including medical malpractice, gross negligence, premises liability, or products liability to name a few.

Loosing A Loved One Is Always Difficult.

Wrongful Death Q+A

How Can A Wrongful Death Lawyer Help?

After the loss of a loved one, the last thing you need to worry about is the complicated legal system. When you partner with a Lubbock wrongful death attorney, you can be sure that someone is looking out for your best interests and handling your case with care. This can allow you and your family to focus on healing without sacrificing your rights.

How Long Do I Have To File A Claim?

Generally speaking, in the state of Texas you have two years after the accident that caused the death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. However, you will need to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. In this difficult time, you may not feel up to taking on insurance companies or the negligent party, but you don’t have to do it alone. A wrongful death attorney can take on this burden for you and build a case that gets you the most compensation. While no amount of money will bring your loved one back, compensation can ease the financial burden of their passing.

There is no upfront cost for working with the wrongful death lawyers at Liggett Law Group. We provide free, no obligation consultations. We work exclusively on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t owe us anything unless we help you recover compensation for your case.
